Please help me out!! I'd appreciate any corrections/comments/suggestions!
My dear mother is the first of my Baskin ancestors. I'm in the process of creating webpages for my mother and her siblings. I've also created pages for my other Baskin ancestors:
- John Sewanee Baskin, Sr. (my grandfather)
- Thomas Baskin (my great grandfather)
- James Baskin (my 2nd great grandfather)
- Andrew Baskin (my 3rd great grandfather)
- Pictures I'm continuing to add pictures and would love to have your additions! If you have some you'd like to share, I'd love to have them! I'll scan, post, and return them to you! Or if you're already computer-savvy, please email them to me (preferably in JPEG format).

What Life was like
"Back Then"
Stories, Anecdotes, Diaries, Interviews, etc.
- Recollections of the "Sand Hills" in the Olden Days - by Elizabeth Sinkler Manning Richardson, wife of Richard Charles Richardson, Jr. Includes information about life in pre- and post-Civil War South Carolina. Also includes much genealogical information.
-
Interviews from the Works Projects Administration (WPA) Federal
Writers' Project. These interviews are located (or taken from) the Library of
Congress' American
Life Histories website. The interviews were written for
the Folklore Project. See the link above for more
information about this interesting source of historical material.
- Interview with Mrs. C. G. Richardson This is an interview with Mrs. Cameron Gregg Richardson (formerly Miss Hattie Angelia Brunson; of Beaufort District, SC; 1857-1946). I have not yet found a connection between "our" Richardsons and her husband. I did find a family tree on the LDS Family Search website which gives the above names and dates, and shows Cameron's father as James Cameron Richardson (m. Esther Henrietta Tames). Her interview gives a look at plantation life shortly after Sherman's arrival in the Beaufort area.
